Vajay jay question....?!



Recommended Posts

I've been wondering about this recently, too. Definitely not as firm as it used to be!

@ cowgirl Jane, you look fantastic. A totally different looking women. I agree its worth the extra skin. You have lost lots and u look really good in your clothes. I have lost 65# and have loose skin on arms and stomach and I think o look great in my clothes. Lucky for me my husband loves me skinny, fat, loose skin and all. Thank God, cause I can't.. afford. Plastics

I have a question' date=' not necessarily vajay jay related, but plastics in general :) I am lucky enough that my insurance will cover my sleeve (hoping for July surgery date) and I'm not sure that I will ever be able to afford plastics. I already worry about the loose skin....I know that this is going to bother me when it happens. I worry that I will still feel as bad about my body as I do now. When you're big, if you're going to get naked in front of someone, they pretty much know what to expect. However, if you're smaller and look good in clothes, they aren't expecting to see a bunch of loose skin when you disrobe. My DH passed away in 2007 and I have not been in a real relationship since then, but I hope to be again one day. If you were unable to have plastics, would you still be okay with yourself?[/quote']

It all depends on your skin, nutrition and excercise. Age can also be a factor. I am 19 mos post op GS and 33 yo. I have a few areas that I'm slightly bothered by: my inner thighs were very loose until recently I have notice some tightening in that area. My arms were loose as well, and now not so bad. I have that typical back bra area that most women hate to see, except mine seems more loose than most. all of these areas can be formed and tightened to what may be a tolerable level. That part is up to you and what makes you feel good! It's definitely healthier to wait longer after surgery before deciding on plastic surgery. I started training for a half marathon shortly after my GS and that helped me lose weight and gain muscle at the same time. I didn't really start focusing on building muscle until recently when I started a bootcamp fitness class. I also use coconut oil to moisturize and nourish my skin which I believe is helping a lot. I have lost over 110 lbs from my heaviest. You may have more or less to lose. Your skin elasticity may be better or worse than mine. You can start nourishing your skin even before surgery! Do your research, and start now!

Guess I could respond to the original thread too...

Mine shrunk some. Could be smaller, but it doesn't bother me really! I'm mostly thrilled that I can actually see it myself again for maintenance!

I've heard for those having plastics done in that region if you go for a Tummy Tuck, check the incision lines they plan to use. I know of a surgeon that does a "w" line in an effort to hide the incisions in the creases of the hips/thighs. It cuts into the upper vag region too and the result is a smaller looking bump.

Yeah...I have watched them. Totally looks dreadful! However I want nothing more then to get rid of this skin on my tummy! I will be getting a lift and implants for my boobs too since the last 20 pounds I have lost hit my poor boobs bad. I went from a double d down to a very heavily padded d! My husband calls them flap jacks! They look like I had a balloon blown up to its ultimate max...then got popped! My surgeon suggested getting bigger ones then I want...he said he has never had a woman say she wished she got smaller implants....I said I don't want my boobs entering a room five seconds before my body does! Lol I just want them to be full and perky...and my stomach flat. I could probably fit into about 2 sizes smaller in my pants if it weren't for my skin on my tummy! But at least I can see my lady parts again! Lol

I am with you on the TT and BL/Augmentation but Have you seen pics of bottoming out of implants on women who start with a D cup or larger and get the BL/A combo.I am scared to have double bubbles. But something has got to give with these boobs I started with a 38 ddd and am now a 36 dd. most of which is skin and I have 30lbs to go...

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
